A Short Introduction To The Philately Of Palestine

Jordanian Occupation: Postage Dues 1948

For the postage due stamps (issued on 2.12.1948) Transjordanian postage dues from various issues in several perforations
(design types D26 and D35, issued since 1929)
were overprinted by design type PD2 and PD2a.
The two types differ by the horizontal distance between the first and second line.
The overprint is in colours black, green and red, with shades varying between imprints.

The perforation measures given are those listed in catalogues Michel and Stanley Gibbons.
Stamps that I inspected show perforation measures that differ slightly from those figures, some by as much as half a point.
Since I don't have enough compararative material of the base stamps or the overprints, I cannot make further investigations into this problem.
